As heretofore stated, the' stopper 9 is ofrra re' '502 With these and other objects in view, the inversible character land thus, the spout 14 can 105`l vention consists in the novel construction, areither be arranged interiorly of the jug, Yas Vrangement and formation of parts as will be shown in Figure 1 or exteriorly4 -of the jug, as hereinafter more specifically described, claimed shown in Figure 2. When the spoutl is arranged and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, exteriorly of the jug,V the same can be lreadily t551 in which: used for pouring purposes and when the same is arranged interiorly of the jug, the same will be out of the Way and the jug can be readily transported.

As clearly'shown in Figures 2 and 3k of the drawing, the threaded cap 12 is provided with an axial opening 17 which can receive the spout 14 when the spout is arranged exteriorly of the jug and thus, the threaded cap .12 can be used for the purpose for holding the stopper on its seat irrespective of whether the spout is arranged inside or outside of the jug.

f A movable cover plate 18 is connected with the cap 12, so that the plate can be moved over the opening when the spout is arranged inside of the jug. A

From the foregoing description, it can be. seen that I have provided an exceptionally simple and durable pouring spout for jugs which will permit the easy handling of the jug for filling drinking vessels without difficulty on the part of the user. Y

Changes in details may be made without d parting from the spirit or the scope of this invention, but what I claim as new is:

A heat insulated jug having a wide entrance neck, a reversible stopper for engaging the neck, said stopper having a pouring spout extending from one side thereof, a removable cap engaging the neck for holding the stopper on said neck provided with an opening for receiving the spout,V a closure for the spout, and a swinging plate carried by the cap for normally closing the opening inthe cap. v
